A Gif and a one line answer like this isn't enough for me to work with.
If you want to help me understand where you're coming from, both of you will have to elaborate.
I'm open to hearing criticism of my ideas.

you need to take a look at what anarcho-capitalism and non-aggression principle are.
1) democracy and freedom are opposite to each other.
2) liberty cannot be achieved through democracy.
3) your country doesn't care about you.
I know what anarcho-capitalism and non-aggression principle are.
1) I don't think they are.
2) I think it can be.
3) I don't expect a non-living entity to care about me.
I'd like to hear what you think is the ideal alternative to a democracy. What would a society without a democracy look like?

Read a lot of Rothbard and watched a lot of his lectures. In addition, I did the same with Mises, Hoppe and other libertarian/classical liberal folks.
Also had to question a lot of my underlying assumptions I took for granted and actually reason from first principles.
Learnt what Ancap, natural rights and NAP actually mean. Got lots of recommendations from the Bitcoin community and did a lot of self-exploration as well.
Here's what's changed about my position:
1) Democracy doesn't mean freedom or liberty. Considering natural rights and NAP as absolute is what freedom means, no matter what system of social organisation it is.
2) Liberty is incredibly difficult to achieve when you have democracy and fiat money.
3) Yes. My country, as in my government will never care about me. Its existence is owed to exploitation and coercion. Only my family and friends will care.
